# Golfmetrics vs Strokes Gained Training

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Strokes Gained Training at 57% against Golfmetrics's 16%. Strokes Gained Training also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). Golfmetrics's advantage is ratings volume (122 vs 5) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golfmetrics sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Strokes Gained Training sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Strokes Gained Training holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golfmetrics has 122 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of Golfmetrics's written reviews are positive against 57% of Strokes Gained Training's.

Golfmetrics ships an update fortnightly, Strokes Gained Training every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
